My submission for the Character Theme Round is Centurion Lucius
Vorenus and Titus Pullo. While they are probably best know as the main
Characters in HBO's fantastic series called Rome they were actually
based on real people. In Caesars commentary of the Gallic Wars he
mentions both as rivals competing for Primus Pilus of one of Quintus
Cicero's legions.
If you haven't seen it, I highly
recommend watching the HBO series and if you haven't read it, read
Caesars commentary's. Hes a master of self promotion and may have
actually invented the humble brag.
The figures are both by Warlord Games. Really nice figures, clean with dynamic poses.
Here is Lucius Vorenus
I really like the Titus Pullo figures a dynamic thrusting pose.
Here they are side by side.
I
really appreciate the character packs Warlord has been developing. I
love their Marcus Crassus figure I painted earlier. I just wish they
would make some different body types. I dont want all my officers to
be Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson.
That Pullo is a great pose. Very nice work!
ReplyDeleteSo many great Romans in this challenge. Great stuff Eric.
ReplyDeleteTwo fine leigioners
ReplyDeleteGreat job Eric.
ReplyDeleteVery nice. It is a fantastic series. Shame it was only two seasons
ReplyDeleteThey were both fine characters, and you've done a lovely job bringing them to life. The reds and bronze really crack on this figs. Now I want to binge-watch Rome on Netflix.
ReplyDeleteWe were huge fans of the series and were completely gutted when it was cancelled. I think Ciaran Hinds was superb as Caesar. Great work on these, Eric. I particularly like the more reserved Lucius figure. Wonderful stuff.
ReplyDeleteNice work Eric :)
ReplyDeleteTop notch Romans! Great work, Eric!
